Foreword

Theodor Seuss Geisel (pronounced /ˈɡaɪzəl/; March 2, 1904 – September 24, 1991) was an American writer and cartoonist most widely known for his children's books written under the pen names Dr. Seuss, Theo. LeSieg and, in one case, Jozef Fritzel. He published 44 children's books, which were often characterized by imaginative characters, rhyme, and frequent use of really

BIG FONTS.

His most celebrated books include the bestselling "One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish", "Horton Hires a Ho!" and "The Joy of Sex". Generations of young Americans grew up comforted by his friendly style and exciting illustrations while, simultaneously, being made aware of the benefits of a diet rich in green ham and the dangers of inviting fast-talking but unidentifiable animals into the house while their parents were not home.

The man millions world wide had come to think of as Dr Seuss, departed this Earth in 1991, leaving his heirs richer to the tune of $40 million, and the world's children poorer for his loss. In 2002, terrorist attacks on New York provoked panic across the United States. Many millions of people were unable to cope, having been brought up to believe that the biggest danger to the American way of life was the ever-present threat of a Grinch stealing Christmas. The White House responded by recruiting noted psychic James Bogus to interview Geisel via Ouija board. The result was the publication of his final books (the first written posthumously), starting with "The Git who Stoned Christians". In this slim book of only thirteen pages, Geisel recounted the whole story of how Osama Bin Laden had first become wealthy thanks to US construction contracts but had then turned against the West following the stationing of unclean foreign troops in the Arabian peninsula in the build up to the first Gulf War. Despite their deployment being over 300 miles away from the holy cities of Mecca and Medina, the sight of female US personnel wearing nothing but full combat body armour, boots and helmets was felt to be an insult to Islam. Geisel explained how, witnessing one of these "Whores" shamelessly defending Bin Laden's homeland from foreign aggression had driven Osama to take a terrible revenge.

It is thought that his publisher, Doubleday, vetoed Seuss's original suggestion for the title: "The Twat in the Hat".
